Grand Bella Pinot Noir 2014

Quinta de Bella, with 50ha (23ha of vineyards), is totally orientated towards traditional sustainable viticulture and a dry farmed philosophy. The grapes produced are concentrated, full of flavour, with an intoxicating minerality that materialises in wines with countless aromatic layers and immense texture. The Bella Elegance range comprises single varietal wines focused on the fruit. The Dom Bella range represents more structured wines and matured in oak, with incredible ageing potential (if you have the patience to wait).
